Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) on Tuesday incredulously demanded to know “what planet†President Trump is living on after Trump said during a press conference on coronavirus testing that the U.S. had "met the moment" and "prevailed."
Schumer blasted Trump on the Senate floor for “a stunning disregard for the truth.â€
“What planet is he on? More than 30 million unemployed and we have prevailed? One point three million infected, 80,000 American fatalities — those numbers still growing and we have prevailed?†Schumer said.
“I don’t care what your politics is. No one should tolerate a president who ignores the truth, says whatever pops into his head, whether it’s true or false, or dangerous and then moves on his merry way to speak the next untruth, talk about the next quack cure,†he said.
